Loans from abroad

Postby Moraf » Fri Sep 07, 2018 5:01 pm

I am a UK resident and have a majority shareholding in a company based in the UAE (which is a zero tax jurisdiction).
I declare all income from the company (dividends) in my self-assessment, but I do not draw a salary from the business as its run by a manager etc.

My question is regarding a loan from the company.
If I were to take a loan from the company of £15,000 - what needs to be done?
In the UAE, there is no interest rate - so I am borrowing it at the official rate of the jurisdiction. Also, the local accounting requirements for the company are being fulfilled.

What needs to be declared in the UK?
